Lithium ?'s

Posted by JackD on January 3, 2001, at 1:10:38

Lithium has so far been of great help to me (425mg a day of Eskalith). The only problem is that I've been afraid to drink alcohol. I'm in college and I'd like to be able to drink socially.

I'm confused about alcohol interaction with Lithium: does alcohol flush lithium out of the body or does it raise lithium levels by dehydrating the body? I've heard anywhere from "Lithium and alcohol is a deadly combo" to "Lithium and alcohol is no problem at all". Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thanks! (P.S. Any tips at all concerning lithium therapy would be greatly appreciated)
